270 THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 7

Having considered each of these issues and the submissions made and having regard to all the matters which the Tribunal has to take into account under the Act there is, in its view, no reason to alter the classification previously made.

The Tribunal classifies each issue as not indecent.

Decision No. 934
Reference No. 25/79, 26/79, 27/79, and 18/79

Decision of the Indecent Publications Tribunal

In the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and in the matter of an application by the Comptroller of Customs in respect of the publications:

Memoirs of a Married Man, published by Kensington Publishing Corporation, Ind. 25/79;
The French Kiss, author: J. J. Montague, published by The Canyon Books, Ind. 26/79;
The Girl in the Plywood Box, author: William R. Bentley, published by Brandon Books, Ind. 27/79;
The Amazing Mary Millington, published by Futora Publications Ltd., Ind. 18/79.

Before the Indecent Publications Tribunal
Messrs L. M. Greig (Chairman), Mrs L. Edmond, and Mrs H. B. Dick.

Hearing: 4 September 1979.
Appearances: Mr P. E. LeLoir for Comptroller of Customs.

Decision

These four books were commercially imported, seized by Customs, and came before the Tribunal as the importer disputes seizure. The last purports to be biographical in the first person. The other three are presented as fiction. All four are little more than collections of descriptions of sexual encounters in explicit detail. There is no literary or other merit in any of the books. Nothing therefore outweighs the dominant and prurient nature of each of the books. They are without any redeeming feature.

The Tribunal classifies each book as indecent.

Dated at Wellington this 21st day of December 1979.
